Merseyside horror punks Zombina and The Skeletones have shared the official video for their new single I’m Horrified!, out now on all good digital service providers. Watch the video via YouTube below.
The track is the latest to be taken from their new album ‘The Call of Zombina,’ which is also out now on local independent imprint 9×9 Records. The album is available on CD, vinyl, and digital formats, with a very limited edition box set already sold out.
Taking a break from gothic horror fantasies to sing a couple of songs about the real life terrors of mental health, A side single I’m Horrified! is a wonky post-punk-leaning banger that deals with the anguish of social interaction, while B side Depression is a grunged-up garage rock number all about…you guessed it…depression!
“For the promo video we snuck Zombina onto Blackpool’s Coral Island Ghost Train for some guerilla selfie stick action,” say the band on the self-produced A side visuals. “The result is an epic face journey which may or may not qualify as a music video. Only time will tell.”
Following a monstrously successful launch show at Rough Trade Liverpool, plus appearances at The Unskinny Bop Zombie Hop and Psychobilly Freakout 2024, the band have one last show for 2024 at Ghouls Rule! this December, and have just announced a clutch of festival appearances for 2025 (see below for listings).
Six deformed rock’n’roll monsters from Liverpool, England, local heroes Zombina and the Skeletones have been mixing garage punk and girl-group pop with spooked out surf-a-billy sonics since 1998, after founding members Zombina and Doc Horror met at a high school Halloween party and fell into a teenage romance.
Zombina’s music has also been featured in the TROMA movies Shakespeare’s Sh*tstorm and Poultrygeist: Night Of The Chicken Dead, and most recently in the Halloween special episode of Extraordinary on Disney+.
